By Daniel Shaw
Do you work in the field of medical physics? Are you responsible for quality assurance measurements for clinical X-ray tubes and generators? If so, then “Quality Assurance Measurements for Clinical X-Ray Tubes and Generators” is the perfect guidebook for you. This comprehensive book, now in its third edition, provides theoretical principles, practical advice, and updated guidance for making quality assurance measurements in medical physics departments.
Authored by Daniel Shaw, this book covers a wide range of topics related to quality assurance measurements for clinical X-ray tubes and generators. It starts with a general introduction, discussing the importance of quality assurance in the field of medical physics. It then delves into the requirements for measuring instruments and the evaluation of safety features. The book also provides detailed instructions and techniques for measuring beam quality, tube output and consistency, focal spot size, and specifications for performances. In addition, it covers the QA of X-ray tube and generator and associated ancillaries, including dental X-ray generating equipment, tomography, and key radiation safety features.
One of the key features of this book is its adherence to the IPEM (Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine) report 32 series. The IPEM report 32 series provides key UK guidance on the performance of quality assurance procedures for diagnostic and interventional X-ray generating and imaging equipment. This book serves as an update to the IPEM report, considering the advances in technology of X-ray generating equipment.
The author has ensured that the information provided is evidence-based and refers to the outputs of the Evidence Based QA working party and relevant UK standards. This ensures that the measurements and techniques mentioned in the book are reliable and scientifically sound.
“Quality Assurance Measurements for Clinical X-Ray Tubes and Generators” has been updated to account for modern measuring devices and techniques that are now widely available in the market. The book discusses these new devices and techniques, providing practical advice on how to use them effectively to ensure accurate quality assurance measurements.
With 92 pages, this book is concise and easy to read. It is published by the Institute of Physics Publishing, ensuring the credibility and quality of the content. The book is available in English and has an ISBN-10 of 0750332174 and an ISBN-13 of 978-0750332170. It is a product of the United Kingdom.
